1980 vw rabbit convertible mk1, replaced valve cover gasket a couple of months ago due to oil leaking from gasket. No more leak however I noticed an oil leak from intake manifold thru gasket. Any advise how to fix besides replacing gasket thanks.

It’s not leaking from the intake manifold, your valve cover gasket was leaking onto the manifold, the oil pooled on it, & is wicking around the gasket.
